## 🚀 Overview

Zeta Reticula is a high-performance, open-source framework for optimizing large language model (LLM) inference through advanced quantization techniques. Built in Rust for maximum performance and safety, it provides fine-grained control over numerical precision to balance model accuracy, memory usage, and computational efficiency.

## 🏗️ Refactored Architecture (2025)

**Major Refactoring Completed**: The codebase has been completely restructured to eliminate bloat and improve maintainability. The new architecture consolidates 19+ scattered crates into a clean, modular design:

- **`core/quantization`**: Consolidated quantization engine with multiple algorithms and precision levels
- **`core/salience`**: Unified salience and mesolimbic system for intelligent token processing
- **`core/shared`**: Common types, configurations, and utilities

### Runtime & Interfaces
- **`runtime/inference`**: Unified inference engine consolidating multiple inference implementations
- **`interfaces/cli`**: Single unified CLI (`zeta`) replacing scattered command-line tools

# Manage KV cache
./target/release/zeta cache status
./target/release/zeta cache clear

# Analyze salience patterns

### Integration with LLMs

Zeta Reticula supports various open-source LLMs:

```rust
// Example: Using with a custom model
let model = LLMModel::load("path/to/model.bin")?;
let config = InferenceConfig {
    max_tokens: 512,
    temperature: 0.7,
    ..Default::default()
};

let output = model.generate("Your prompt here", &config)?;
println!("Generated: {}", output);
```

### Testing

Run the full test suite:

```bash
# Unit tests
cargo test

# Integration tests
cargo test --test integration_tests -- --nocapture

# Performance benchmarks
cargo bench
```

## 📊 Monitoring & Observability

### Metrics
Zeta Reticua exposes Prometheus metrics at `/metrics`:
- Request latency
- Error rates
- Resource utilization
- Cache hit/miss ratios

### Logging
Structured JSON logging with the following fields:
- `timestamp`
- `level` (info, warn, error, debug)
- `target` (module path)
- `message`
- `request_id` (for request tracing)

### Distributed Tracing
Supports OpenTelemetry for end-to-end request tracing across services.

### Troubleshooting

#### Docker Build Issues

- **Missing Dependencies**: Ensure all build dependencies are installed in the Dockerfile.
  ```dockerfile
  RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
      pkg-config \
      libssl-dev \
      build-essential \
      cmake \
      curl \
      git \
      clang \
      lld \
      protobuf-compiler \
      libprotobuf-dev \
      && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
  ```

- **Rust Version Mismatch**: Ensure the Rust version in the Dockerfile matches the required version for all dependencies.
  ```dockerfile
  FROM --platform=linux/amd64 rust:1.82-slim-bookworm AS builder
  ```

#### Kubernetes Issues

- **Image Pull Errors**: Ensure the image is available in your cluster. For local development, use `kind` to load the image:
  ```bash
  kind load docker-image zeta-salience/salience-engine:local --name your-cluster-name
  ```

- **Service Not Accessible**: Check if the service is running and the ports are correctly exposed:
  ```bash
  kubectl -n zeta get svc,pods
  kubectl -n zeta logs -l app=zeta-reticula,component=salience-engine
  ```

#### Common Build Errors

- **Protoc Not Found**: Ensure `protobuf-compiler` is installed:
  ```bash
  sudo apt-get install -y protobuf-compiler
  ```

- **Rust Toolchain Issues**: Ensure the correct Rust toolchain is installed:
  ```bash
  rustup update
  rustup default stable
  ```
